Comparative analysis between abdominal aortic aneurysm and popliteal artery aneurysm by Marcos Vinícius Melo de Oliveira, MD, PhD, Alexandre Malta Brandão, MD, PhD, Gina Camillo Rocha Silvestre, BS, Alexandre Queiroz Silva, BS, Michele Alberto Marques, BS, Marcia Martins Reis, PhD, Maria de Lourdes Higuchi, MD, PhD, Erasmo Simão da Silva, MD, PhD

“…Clinical Relevance: The clinical significance of this study lies in its potential to enhance our understanding of the distinct pathophysiological mechanisms underlying abdominal aortic aneurysms, which is often associated with rupture, and popliteal artery aneurysms, which are more prone to thrombosis and distal embolization. By comprehensively comparing the biomechanical, histological, and immunohistochemical aspects of these two aneurysm types, the study aims to illuminate the factors contributing to their differing clinical presentations and outcomes.…”
